PATENT CLAIMS Method for making lithographic printing plates
- Prepg a heat mode imaging element consisting of a litho
graphic base with hydrophilic surface & top layer which top
layer is sensitive to IR radiation, comprises a polymer, solu
ble in an aq alkaline soln., an IR-dye selected from group:
indoaniline dyes, cyanine dyes, merocyanine dyes, oxonol
dyes, porphine deriv., anthraquinone dyes, merostyryl dyes
pyrylium compds., diphenyl & triphenyl azo compds., &
squarylium deriv., & is unpenetrable for an alkaline develo
per contg SiO2 & alkali metal hydroxides represented by
MOH or oxides thereof (M2O) in molar ratio 0.5-1.5 & concn
of SiO2 0.5-5%
- Exposing imagewise said heat mode imaging element to
IR radiation
- Developing said imagewise exposed mode imaging ele
ment with said alkaline developer so that the exposed
areas of the top layer are dissolved & the unexposed areas
of top layer remain undissolved characterized in that said
IR-sensitive layer is a visible light- & UV light-desensitized
layer
